I'm quite happy about this, as I like the spot, although they used to serve Gorilla, which I find to be over-roasted. Anyways, coffee geeks in the neighborhood may want to check this out and see how they're doing with these beans.

Mon Aug 25 14:27:17 -0700 2008 3985843 122578 TBird 2 3986231 ...and in Red Hook: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/13/dining/13coffee.html?scp=1&sq=stumptown&st=nyt Mon Aug 25 15:48:27 -0700 2008 3985988 13402 Joe MacBu 3 3986756 thanks joe, even better! i've heard nothing but great things about them. :-) Mon Aug 25 19:32:48 -0700 2008 3986231 122578 TBird 4 3987342 I'm there! I brought back some last time I was in PDX in Nov. Thanks for the tips! Tue Aug 26 05:47:01 -0700 2008 3986756 21546 Brigita 1 3987476 That's brilliant that they'll be setting up in Red Hook. Very exciting. Tue Aug 26 06:47:09 -0700 2008 3985843 12006 lambretta76 1 3990103 they sell it at Brooklyn Label too Tue Aug 26 22:43:57 -0700 2008 3985843 13657 VeggieBooty 2 4068501 I live in Greenpoint but was down on Smith Street today and I am out of beans so I stopped in at Boerum Hill Food Co. to pick some up. I was nicely told by the guy working behind the counter that they were sold out of bags for sale, but would have more later in the week. No big deal, I thought, I'll just take the G up to Brooklyn Label and pick up a bag there on my way home. So I get in there about 4:10, the door is wide open, the restaurant is half full, the cashier is counting money and says that they are closed so he can't sell me the beans. It doesn't matter that they have bags and bags of them and I don't need anyone to help me. It doesn't matter that I have exact change. It doesn't matter that half the tables still are eating and for sure haven't paid. What has happened is that they have lost me as a customer, and Boerum Hill Food Co. will be seeing me again in the near future. Sun Sep 28 18:04:20 -0700 2008 3990103 13657 VeggieBooty 3 4069646 It is odd. They have changed their menu, and apparently have decided to become mean in the bargain. I was there for brunch this weekend, and I actually felt like I was on candid camera. At what point would I snap and start shrieking at the waitperson? Anyway. The new menu is also a little sad. More upscale and particular. They have done away with the more diner classic kind of food that I think they used to do so well. Mon Sep 29 08:56:39 -0700 2008 4068501 11392 gnosh 4 4071008 My husband and I had a really nice breakfast there a few days ago, sitting at the lovely table in the window. I had a cheddar and sundried tomato omelet. Husband had a very nice goat cheese omelet. I personally didn't like the old menu...everything was very heavy and dinerish. The omelets, in contrast, were light and fluffy and just the right size. Mon Sep 29 17:43:45 -0700 2008 4069646 10971 Nehna 5 4071033 Well, omelets were always on the menu. And I consider dinerish to be a good thing, when done with care. Mon Sep 29 18:00:12 -0700 2008 4071008 11392 gnosh 6 4072717 I don't disagree on diner food, though its not a favorite of mine. My point was really that the food I had, with the old menu, was not diner food 'done with care'...it was just heavy, greasy breakfast food that I wasnt fond of, as opposed to the light food we had there the other day. Might just be a personal preference thing. Breakfast has never been a favorite meal of mine. Tue Sep 30 13:44:14 -0700 2008 4071033 10971 Nehna 7 4084985 I know they have changed their menu yet again recently after loosing their newest chef. I hope they dont become another queens hideaway and close their doors. Mon Oct 06 08:00:33 -0700 2008 4072717 177720 Asumnuthin 1 3991514 Stumptown is my favorite coffee in all the world. And Duane Sorenson is one of my heroes. I currently buy my Stumptown at Ninth Street. Wed Aug 27 11:24:22 -0700 2008 3985843 77456 sophie. 2 4069266 I agree. It's quickly becoming my favorite as well. Mon Sep 29 06:44:19 -0700 2008 3991514 10971 Nehna 3 4086718 yeah, ive been drinking stumptown iced americanos at ninth st espresso at the chelsea market like its liquid crack ($3). i finally started buying the whole beans recently. i currently have el salvador los planes, its pretty great. the problem is that at ninth st its hella expensive ($15/bag i think). Mon Oct 06 19:03:49 -0700 2008 4069266 11372 mrnyc 4 4087376 I'm planning to pick up a bag very soon - I need to get through the bag of D&D House blend that I got as a gift *and* a bag of Mud coffee first :( Mud is good stuff btw, if you havent tried it. Tue Oct 07 06:12:01 -0700 2008 4086718 10971 Nehna 1 4085383 Yeah, it's in Red Hook too at Kevin's, a new place on Van Brunt at Pioneer. I was there last weekend - delicious fresh ground, not a hint of bitterness, had it with a cappuccino brownie, mmmm ambrosia ... Mon Oct 06 10:30:02 -0700 2008 3985843 230495 mariacooks 2 4126330 Just got back from another trip to Portland, OR, and had a pristine mocha at Stumptown as usual, and brought back 3 pounds of coffee. When does Van Brunt open? It's too good for me to not be there the second it does. Fri Oct 24 09:06:42 -0700 2008 4085383 21546 Brigita
